How Neoliberalism and Social Media Controls Our Lives? An Alarming Situation You Must Know

 Social media has become an important tool in today's world and it's difficult to imagine your life without the social networking platforms. Each platform has its own pros and cons and people can use it according to their narrative building. Neoliberalism is one instance. By gaining access to all of our personal data, capitalists use social media to influence the society and culture and build up their own narratives through these platforms.

Neoliberalism Inequality and Authoritarianism 

by Jon Kofas (Author)

---

This book exposes the inherent contradictions of neoliberalism. The myth of limitless growth ignores the reality of resource constraints and fuels a global upward transfer of wealth. Meanwhile, a fractured global economy and intensifying class warfare chip away at neoliberalism's foundation. As inequality spirals and social justice crumbles, the model increasingly serves a privileged few at the expense of the majority. This undermines the Enlightenment ideal of using liberal democracy to improve lives in the age of mass politics, threatening neoliberalism's very survival.

What is the end-game of WAR IN ISRAEL AND UKRAINE, other than more of the same, as the artlce in JACOBIN implies?

 At some point, the wars in Israel as well as Ukraine will end, but at what cost first to the Palestinian people, the Israelis, the region, and to those few US-led countries that opted to support Israel? The regional balance of power will shift from both Israel and the US which have sustained a strained relationship with most of the Global South, except India supporting Israel, as well as China and Russia. It is very difficult to see how the US and Israel actually gain much as a result of the war that Israel has been carrying out against the civilians in Gaza, though it is clear  is the US has gained market share in Europe because of the war in Ukraine, while Europe is greatly weakened. Just as difficult to see, how do Western corporations gain, other than weapons manufacturers, considering that some are and will most definitely face boycott calls globally for supporting Israel's ethnic cleansing war with children as a main target. 

While one way that some pro-Israel elements in the West want to save the apartheid state by removing the current regime, the question is whether this by itself would be enough. There is also the larger issue of how a GOP neo-isolationist government will handle foreign policy, given its reservations about war with Russia. It is difficult to see how the US reverses the benefits already accrued to China from both wars, given that the balance of power is determined by the CHINA-LED BRICS group dominating the world economy. Ending the wars as quickly as possible is the best solution for the US-NATO group, but ideology and fear of continued decline has prevented the obvious solution.  

'Israel’s Priority Is Killing Gazans, Not Freeing Hostages,' Stephen Semler

This war would look very different if Israel’s principal aim was to free the hostages. But Israel’s assault on Gaza was never about the hostages.

Collectivism versus Individualism in the Neoliberal Era

  Collectivism is an ideology that focuses on the collective interests of people within a community while individualism is focused on a single person's interests and rights. In collectivism, a community lives together and works to support each other but individualism's thought process focuses on people preferring to lead an independent life instead of assuming responsibilities, as in a traditional family system. Which system is suitable for human beings? And how neoliberalism has affected collectivism and individualism in today's world?
